Upcoming release: EZ Essay Study Guide on The Holocaust Rhetoric: The Red Book Van der Lubbe and the Reichstag Fire Versus The Brown Book of the Hitler Terror and the Burning of the Reichstag

 

Marinus van der Lubbe is smiling to see this book with all sides of the story in one document, so people can decide for themselves who burned down the Reichstag. You will surprise yourself!

Experience arguments between the rarely discussed and elusive council communists’ work, Red Book Van der Lubbe and the Reichstag Fire, which argues activist Marinus van der Lubbe’s role as an arsonist against the libertarian communists’ book, The Brown Book of the Reichstag Fire and Hitler Terror. This guide is ideal for English, history, psychology, debate, and especially journalism students and teachers because it shows how bias perpetuates ongoing theories and can invigorate neglected theories.

The controversy surrounding the 1933 Reichstag Fire persists because of conflicting testimonies, long-term biases developed from the reduced availability of The Red Book, alleged fractured evidence of Nazi manipulations, and mounds of speculation. The burning of the Reichstag, which was the German parliamentary building, marked a pivotal moment in Nazi history, facilitating the rise of Hitler’s dictatorship. This study guide encourages readers to formulate their own theories with all available resources, while being aware of bias within resources. It follows the Socratic method, digging for deep answers on why and how to spark critical thinking.

 

TEACHERS! This guide includes inherent and direct questions, inviting students to form individual conclusions. Each of the questions may be answered with research either in this guide or within the list of cited works. This is especially useful for essay assignments. This guide includes a vocabulary list and essay prompts.

Smoke lingers from The Brown Book, The Red Book, letters, biographies, newspapers, especially diaries, and the Nuremberg Trials about who set the Reichstag fire, and whether the Nazis planned it to seize power or simply took advantage of the situation. The EZ Essay Study Guide on The Holocaust Rhetoric: The Red Book Van der Lubbe and the Reichstag Fire Versus The Brown Book of the Hitler Terror and the Burning of the Reichstag uses scholarly sources and reveals how to obtain obscure information, how to identify bias, and avoid bias.
